You always knew Rossini was metal, didn't you?

Thank you for the William Tell Overture. But for weirdness, try this: "Pomp and Circumstance" on the boghorn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfJ1TQkKMF8 — Largo from Vivaldi's flute concerto in C minor, RV 443.

I think this piece will not whistle up a storm on you.

The tale: Some scientists at Princeton Uni. had a computer come up with a 3D image of what the Biblical Adam would have looked like. The result looked like Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones.

The organ is centuries old. The music is centuries old. The recordings are only 75 years old.

https://organhistoricalsociety.org/OrganHistory/ — Working copy of J.H. Cook's organ history site.
http://web.archive.org/web/20071028110450/http://faculty.bsc.edu/jhcook/OrgHist/index.html — Wayback copy.

A shortish history of the pipe organ, both by period and by country. There is also a section on the bits and pieces that make up an organ.

There may be a few bits missing; I haven't tested everything.

New-old-fic-time:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14341540/1/Chaos-And-Crystal-Tokyo is now on FF.net. The reader probably couldn't be bothered to read it at https://members.tripod.com/master_magi2000/ where it at least has scene breaks.

Hoary old fic time:

This is home to the R/SM crossover "Awkward Consequences".

To quote Drakensis the Red, "Hotaru + Ranma + Alcohol - Family Planning = An excellent story. Do the math."
